00:00 Storms in the east could make for travel

00:02 issues as we round out the week.

00:04 Jeff Cornish has more in

00:05 tonight's travel outlook.

00:06 But we have a lot of concerns tied to

00:10 travel delays, flight cancellations

00:11 possible in some parts of the Northeast,

00:13 especially near I-95,

00:14 kind of hedging toward the eastern

00:15 part of that green zone on Friday.

00:17 Heat in the West.

00:18 It's a problem,

00:19 but it's less of an issue specifically

00:21 associated with travel were also

00:22 going to be tracking some occasional

00:24 storms through parts of the central

00:26 plains again and various parts

00:27 of the southeast as well.

00:29 The Northwest, though,

00:30 from a travel standpoint, looks good.

00:31 It's going to be hot and Boise

00:33 on the valley floor there.

00:34 104 Reno.

00:35 You're not exempt from the heat either.

00:37 104 degrees for you don't want to

00:39 break down with heat like that into

00:41 San Francisco gets a little breezy

00:42 in the afternoon heading farther East.

00:44 Scattered thunderstorms will break

00:45 out into Denver in the afternoon

00:46 and evening.

00:47 Kind of similar to what we've

00:48 seen earlier today.

00:49 Albuquerque also scattered

00:50 thunderstorms will be roaming around

00:51 into parts of the land of enchantment.

00:53 That's the state of New Mexico

00:55 into Casper and Denver.

00:56 Again, stormy storms into the afternoon,

00:57 but farther East, much of the north.

00:59 Central US will take a break and it looks

01:01 a little more comfortable into the Twin

01:03 Cities scattered storms into Little Rock,

01:05 Arkansas and into New Orleans

01:06 heading into the southeast.

01:07 Some of these storms could lead

01:09 to flash flooding and they could

01:10 be gusty, possibly damaging.

01:11 Thunderstorms possible into the Atlanta

01:13 Metro storminess into a Nashville

01:14 and in the afternoon almost any

01:15 part of Florida could see some of

01:17 that from the Ohio Valley into

01:19 the area around the Great Lakes.

01:20 We have two thumbs up,

01:22 but the Northeast will still be

01:23 stormy with some disruptions and

01:25 some of these storms could be

01:26 some of these disruptions and some

01:28 of these scattered storms from

01:29 Baltimore to the Northeast could

01:31 lead to some flight cancellations.

01:32 Or delays.

01:33 In fact, we have expected around

01:35 1000 flight cancellations in

01:36 your Friday forecast.
